Gede Ruins Tickets and Tours

Gede Ruins and Malindi Tour

Very pleasant and fun

The main attraction of the place is the monkeys and not the ruins which, I must say, are worth it anyway. Admission for Europeans costs 8 dollars, and the place is easily reachable from Watamu, even by tuk-tuk. Rely on a guide and buy bananas. Do not try to approach the monkeys because they can become a bit violent, let the guide handle it. The visit does not take a lot of time, so it is an excursion that can be combined with something else. The ruins are evocative and well-maintained. Some graffiti here and there, no particular protection. For everyone, the real attraction is the monkeys. I feel like recommending a visit, but, as usual, remember that by paying for the excursion you will only be transported there and have access to the site. You will be assigned a guide to whom you will in all likelihood have to leave an additional tip anyway.

2 Days Watamu Tour (minimum 2 Pax)

An awesome experience

Our driver Daniel was terrific, always on time and very accomadating as we needed to be picked up and dropped off in Kilifi. It was great to know that all the costs had been paid for which allowed us to just enjoy the experience and truly explore. The Hell's Kitchen was a real highlight! Watamu and Gede are very interesting places and the Ruins of Gede are awe-inspiring! We could not fault the Mawe Hotel, with friendly staff and brilliant food! The second day involved all day on Watamu reef and Mida creek. Crystal clear waters and mangrove forests are definitely something to be enjoyed. If you have your own snorkel equipment I would recommend you take it as the goggles provided were not very clean and was very difficult to see, the boat was also very busy. Overall an amazing two days!
